Best Rate vs Lumpa's Pick: why they are not the same thing

For a buy order, Best Rate means the lowest eligible price after the active filters. For a sell order, it means the highest eligible price. This label should remain independent from commercial relationships.

The recommendation layer is intended to consider price together with merchant quality, liquidity, limits and payment compatibility. During the MVP, the recommendation logic is deliberately conservative and will become more granular as the data model expands.

Lumpascan can receive compensation from partner exchanges, but partnership status should be disclosed separately from the rate calculation and ranking methodology.
